"American photographer Julius Shulman's images of Californian architecture have burned themselves into the retina of the 20th
century. A book on modern architecture without Shulman is inconceivable. Some of his architectural photographs, like the iconic
shots of Frank Lloyd Wright's or Pierre Koenig's remarkable structures, have been published countless times. The brilliance
of buildings like those by Charles Eames, as well as those of his close Friend, Richard Neutra, was first brought to light
by Shulman's photography. The clarity of his work demanded that architectural photography had to be considered as an independent
art form. Each Schulman image unites perception and understanding for the buildings and their place in the landscape. The
precise compositions reveal not just the architectural ideas behind a building's surface, but also the visions and hopes of
an entire age. A sense of humanity is always present in his work, even when the human figure is absent from the actual photographs.
Today, a great many of the buildings documented by Shulman have disappeared or been crudely converted, but the thirst for
his pioneering images is stronger than ever before. This is a vivid journey across six decades of great architecture and classic
photography through the famously incomparable eyes of Julius Shulman--Jacket blurb

A Prefab is a mass produced house, constructed in a factory and assembled on site in a few days or weeks. Once regarded as
a cheap, easy solution for urgent housing problems, the prefab has evolved to become a synonym for ambitious design and sophisticated
detailing solutions. The amazing history of prefabricated houses started in England in the 1830's with a building kit for
emigrants moving to Australia. Even today, prefabricated houses provide a high percentage of living spaces in many countries
of the world. This book covers prefabs from the USA via Europe to Asia and Africa, giving insight into the various industrially
prefabricated components, the difficulties of delivery to the building site, and the intricacies of assembly and completion.
As well as tracing the liaison between modernism and industrialization that evolved to produce the latest prefabricated solutions,
it also features a unique compilation of one-off prefabricated houses by well known international architects, as well as successful
dwellings manufactured off-site for everyday modern living. Readers will also find contact details for relevant suppliers
and manufacturers

Sculptural structures Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was one of the 20th century’s great visionaries, both in the fields of furniture
design (he created the ubiquitous Knoll "Tulip" chairs and tables, for example) and in architecture. Among his greatest accomplishments
are monuments that shaped architecture in postwar America and became icons in themselves: Washington D.C.’s Dulles International
Airport, the very sculptural and fluid TWA terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the 630-foot high "Gateway to the West,"
the Arch of St. Louis. Marrying curves and dynamic forms with a Modernist aesthetic, he brought a whole new dimension to architecture

ART & DESIGN STYLES: FROM C 1960. A poetry of architecture, art, and engineering. Spanish visionary Santiago Calatrava is
renowned around the world as an architect, structural engineer, sculptor, and artist. Famed for bridges as much as buildings,
he has made his name with neofuturistic structures that combine deft engineering solutions with dramatic visual impact. From
the Athens 2004 Olympic sports complex and the Museum of Tomorrow to the Peace Bridge, Calgary; Alamillo Bridge in Seville;
and the Mujer Bridge in Buenos Aires, Calatrava's creations show particular interest in the meeting point of movement and
balance. With influences ranging from NASA space design to da Vinci's nature studies, the structures dazzle with a sense of
lightness, agility, and aerodynamism, but always with a graceful poise amid their particular surroundings
